We probably had a narrow window, no more than three decades, to try to transform our western democracies into something ecologically sustainable.
But there were no short term profits in it, so we didn't.
As Brecht let Jenny sing in the finale:
"Erst kommt das Fressen, dann kommt die Moral."
Today US voters condemned any land less than 8 meters above sea level, world-wide, because they think junk-food has become too expensive.

Just... just don't.
As awful as it is to just point at an entire industry, real estate agents? Fuck em.
Fuck em all.

I TOTALLY AGREE that's why I used the expression "homosexual acts". While I don't agree with those people way of life, I will NEVER disrespect, insult or punch 'em.
In fact, I was one of the few, if not the only one, to be friendly&respectful towards "the faggot" (as he was called by many) in college. Many if not all were criticising him behind his back, I wasn't.
As far as I can remember, I was even the only one that was often AND WILLINGLY eating with him at the refectory.

I'm working on a spreadsheet to monitor which organizations, celebrities and other major accounts have truly made the exit from X, and where they're going.
I'm not tracking dual-posters, or people who've said they'll quit but actually haven't.
As this list fills up, I hope it'll make it easier for others to do the same.

As fans, we really like that. 🙄
While pandemic, fascism, and onrushing genocides, not to mention the billionaire-class's efforts to steal even that which is nailed down are taking the headlines, the climate news keeps ticking by in the background. Some of it is good, very good even — this is really entirely a question of political will now — but most of it isn't.
As someone in her 40s now, looking at the likelihood of a 4°C 2100 continue to creep up, what does it mean to live in probably the last generation that will not see the end of globally-organized civilization?
Not in terms of offsets or recycling or all the other things we're supposed to do to be good people instead of doing something useful like shooting an oil executive, but culturally. What does it mean as an artist, an intellectual, a person-who-lives-in-culture? What does one do differently if one is going to be last?
